CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
A study on Automation Processing System-Material Handling Station was conducted by the team of Actub, F., et. al. (2014) and the Color Sorting Station with Cartesian Coordinate Station by Balucan, J., et. al. (2009). The existing Automation Processing System-Material Handling Station (APS-MHS) and Color Sorting Station with Pick and Place Station has a problem as cited in its recommendation. For the Material Handling Station includes excessive angle for sliding module, inappropriate material for the cable chain that hold or cover wires and hoses, extra inputs which can be eliminated without varying the sequence. For the Color Sorting Station with Pick and Place Station where further development and alignment of the stepper motion, components, such as sorting gate modules, and conveyor rollers to increase efficient performance, upgrading of the geared head DC motor, replacement of the stepper motor into DC geared-head motor or servo motor, along with the control circuits for simplicity and reliability if operations, too much input or output for the existing PLC model, inappropriate materials used (belts, solenoid valves), difficulty in disassembling and assembling. It is for this purpose that the current proponents and the co-authors decided
